Bruegel Event Recordings

Despite the recent drop in bilateral trade, China and Russia have been improving their economic relations for quite some time already. The commodity supercycle marked the beginning of the love affair after some difficult decades. Geopolitical reasons, including a common response to the US pivot towards Asia, may have also helped. At the current juncture, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, especially the Northern Route, should further enhance economic integration between Russia, world’s largest energy exporter, and China. Europe – at the other end of the Belt and Road – and with long-term economic relations with both China and Russia will surely be affected by these developments.
